Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0430256A2] The present invention relates to a method and equipment for calibrating levels of a waveform analyzing apparatus. An analog switch (24) produces a square wave signal (59) of a low frequency by switching ON and OFF a preset level of DC voltage from a DC voltage setting circuit (23) at a frequency of a control signal from a frequency setting circuit (25). The square signal (59) is applied to the waveform analyzing apparatus (12) and the low frequency output level is calibrated by a theoretical level of a frequency spectrum of the square wave signal. A detecting circuit is calibrated at the low frequency using the calibrated waveform analyzing apparatus, which in turn is calibrated at a high frequency using the calibrated detecting circuit. The detecting circuit, the analog switch (24) and a switch circuit are provided on a performance board attached to an IC tester analog test part which includes the signal generators, the DC voltage setting circuit (23), the frequency setting circuit (25) the waveform analyzing apparatus (12) a DC voltmeter and a test processor (13). Using the switch circuit, desired outputs of the signal generates, analog switch and the detecting circuit are connected to desired inputs of the waveform analyzing apparatus, DC voltmeter and the detecting circuit, thus forming calibration equipment. <IMAGE>
